| # Dataset release policy |
|
|
| AutoMedBench reports benchmark results but does not redistribute the upstream |
| dataset content referenced by the benchmark website. A private repository does |
| not override source licenses or data-use agreements. |
|
|
| `manifests/data_policy.csv` freezes one policy record for each of the 48 tasks: |
|
|
| - `redistributable`: a source appears to grant redistribution under the listed |
| license; attribution and all license conditions still apply; |
| - `download_required`: users must obtain the data from the upstream source; |
| - `restricted`: access is gated or credentialed or redistribution is |
| prohibited; |
| - `unknown`: no sufficient redistribution grant has been verified. |
|
|
| The release rule is conservative: no dataset bytes are embedded in any of the |
| 48 task packages, the eight shared runtime images, or the 96 thin task-tier |
| images. Every uploaded artifact is code-only. Runtime data is mounted from a |
| local directory prepared independently by the authorized user. The shared |
| runtime inventory is frozen in `manifests/runtime_images.csv`; task-tier image |
| and archive identities are frozen in `manifests/cell_images.csv` and |
| `manifests/cell_archives.csv`. |
|
|
| `manifests/dataset_resolution.csv` resolves every task to one auditable state: |
| 23 task rows are locally staged and layout-hashed, 16 are acquisition-ready |
| from a frozen source/recipe, and nine are externally blocked by an approval, |
| DUA, or mixed-source permission requirement. These local readiness records do |
| not grant redistribution rights and no staged dataset directory is uploaded. |
|
|
| Before any task can be called release-ready: |
|
|
| 1. the upstream source and immutable revision must be frozen; |
| 2. its license or access agreement must be retained with the release audit; |
| 3. selected case IDs and deterministic staging checksums must be recorded; |
| 4. restricted users must acquire the data independently; |
| 5. the staged layout must pass the exact-secret and personal-path scan. |
|
|
| Known immediate gates include the declared LiTS versus pinned MSD liver |
| provenance distinction; FeTA, PANTHER, fastMRI, BraTS, Kvasir-VQA, |
| OmniMedVQA, MIMIC-CXR, and VinDr-CXR access restrictions; and unclear |
| CheXpert Plus and ISIC subset licenses. PathCap is staged for authorized local |
| use with distinct 100/500 ID lists but remains prohibited from redistribution. |
| The 15 website tasks absent from locked source branches now have explicitly |
| identified `release_owned_v1` harnesses rather than being reported as missing. |
